03x08 - I k*lled A Man Today

[bunniefuu]

[ music ]

[ music ]

- Tate.

Let's get down for breakfast.

- He's at the fairgrounds.

He's watching the cowhorse guys with your father.

- Cowhorse guys?

Oh, Jesus.

He's horse shopping.

- Well, he should enjoy his retirement.

If a horse makes him happy, he should buy it.

- My dad ain't retired.

- Here's what he does all day:

he goes on walks with Tate, he goes riding with Tate,

goes fishing with Tate.

He plays baseball with Tate.

Meanwhile, you're working sixteen hours a day

doing his job.

Both of his jobs, actually.

The man is retired.

- You painting the house today?

- Huh?

- Why you dressed like that?

- Doing some volunteer work today.

- Like a car wash?

- Something like that.

You're lucky he's horse shopping.

When a man in your father's position retires

he usually gets a 25 year-old girlfriend,

then buys them a sports car and a condo.

- 25 year-old girlfriend, a sports car,

and a condo would be cheaper.

Trust me.

Damn, you look good.

- Go save your father from himself.

♪ I can't see any angels doesn't mean it's all hell ♪

♪ I had heaven once... ♪

- You gonna buy him?

- Maybe.

- But we already have a lot of horses at home.

- I got a lot of using horses.

There's two ways to make money on a ranch:

sell cattle and market horses.

I don't have a horse to market.

- How do you market a horse?

- Send them down the road and see what they can make.

So, I ain't just looking at the horse today.

I'm looking at the rider, too.

- Are these the best riders?

- Best in the world.

Nice horse, Bob.

- Thank you, sir, he's a good one.

- You gonna keep him on the road if I buy him?

- You know, I'm trying to enjoy my life.

If you buy him, you show him.

- Don't wanna show him.
I'm trying to enjoy mine, too.

- You know, you've got an arena full

of world champions out here.

You could close your eyes, throw a stick, and hit a winner.

[ music ]

- You wanna make big money on a horse, learn how to do that.

Learn how to be an artist.

- You running her in the cow horse or the reining?

- I'd show her in a chariot race

if there was enough prize money.

You still pal around with Travis Wheatley?

- sh*t.
Against my better judgement.

- That son of a bitch...
If you were stuck in quicksand

he'd charge you for the rope before he pulled you out.

- That's for damn sure.

- Sure a lot of fun at the bar, though.

- That's his special skill.

- [ chuckles ]

- Any of those boys are going to work for you, you know that.

I've got a beach in my sights

I'm gonna stick my toes in the sand.

- Save me a seat, would ya?
- You got it.

- He don't look too done to me, does he?

- Dad, we do not need...

Wow. That's a nice horse.

- Expensive taste runs in the blood.

- That's the only way my dad would get it

'cause he's broke as hell.

- Hey. Stay away from the bunkhouse.

- Headed to the office, huh?

- Yeah.

- Pretty quick investigation.

- I just wanna get through some paperwork.

Not really cleared to go back out just yet.

- Boys are all right, though?

- They'll live.

- What are you guys talking about?

- Just work stuff.

Wow, look at that horse, buddy.

[ mouthing ]
- Monica doesn't know.

- Pretty short sighted, considering...

it's already in the...

[ mouthing ]
newspaper.

- She don't read that.

- Well, if you want to talk about it later...

- What's there to talk about?

- I think there's plenty to talk about, son.

- Gotta go.

- You know where to find me.

- Why were you guys talking in secrets?

- I don't do that.

Secrets are like a callus on your heart.

- What's a callus?

- Feel that, right there.

- That's hard.

- That's a callus.

And every secret feels just like that.

Tell enough of them, and before long...

Your heart won't feel a thing.

[ music ]

- Because she baited them into it!

Every hedge fund manager in
New York is shorting us now...

It doesn't matter if it's true!

The boulder is rolling down the hill

and I can't do anything to stop it.

Look, set a call with shareholders.

We need to start a buy back.

I know. I know...

I f*ck--

I know.

[ chatter ]

- We'll set the call, and issue a tender offer at 75.

Once the price starts to turn,

start buying Schwartz and Meyer shares in blocks of 25,000.

Once you hit half a million, start reaching out to the funds.

We are squashing this bug today.

- What in the...

What now?

[ chatter ]

- Just wanna shake your hand.

Thank you.

- For what?

- For protecting what's ours.

And for risking your life to do it.

[ music ]

- Donny...

- He never had that.

He had their respect.
He had their loyalty.

But that...

I don't even know what you call that.

- I don't either.

Gratitude, I guess.

That sh**ting was justified.

- My office won't question it.

- Well, you should probably question it.

I'm just letting you know what you're going to find out.

- I need some advice, brother...

If I can still call you that.

- 'Til the day you die you better never

call me anything else.

- There's an arms race going on in this valley,

and the w*apon is land.

Market Equities has a forest service lease

on 12,000 acres to build a ski resort.

They have a lease agreement with the FAA

to build an international airport.

The Land they have earmarked are pastures 12 through 32.

- Of our land.
- Our land.

There is a meeting with the Governor, myself,

the land commission and the board

of Market Equities next week.

Now, the fact that this meeting is even set

means that Montana wants it.

I do have an offer from Market Equities

at ten thousand per acre.

- There's fifty thousand acres between those pastures.

- It's half a billion dollars.

If we turn this offer down, then the attorneys

for Market Equities are going to push the government

to seek eminent domain.

I will be recused from representing

the state because...

It's our f*cking land.

There is public need: the jobs, the revenue...

- Is there any kind of a solution?

- We sell it to them.

Right now, the ranch has enough money to keep up

with taxes and operations for another year.

Maybe two.

Then we're selling anyway.

- And you've explained all this to dad?

- Beth has poisoned me to him.

And if you explain it to him--

- The last thing he wants to hear from me is numbers.

- It has to come from Beth.

- Can I see the offer?

- Well, it was a verbal agreement.

- I need to see it, Jamie.

She's not gonna believe it unless she sees it on paper.

Even if it's coming from me.

- Yeah.
[ clears throat ]

Can you get me Willa Hayes from Market Equities?

[ sighs ]

[ wind blowing ]

- Broke down, huh?

- Yeah, it's the radiator.

The hose, I think.

Don't have a spare, do you?

- You gonna fix it all by yourself?

- Do you have a spare?

- Not for a Nissan I don't.

But I can give you a ride up to Billings.

I'm headed that way,

- Yeah, that would be great.

- Climb in.

One sec.

[ music ]

- We don't have a choice, Bob.

Bob, this is what you pay me for, okay?

So just f*cking listen to me.

I need you to buy puts at a strike of 185.

Okay? And do not stop...

Do you understand me?
Do not stop.

- Yeah, we have a charge on our stock.

Market Equities.

Can you get it out?

Thank you.

Do I look like I need a f*cking cup of coffee?

- Oh God, uh...

- Is that's all it takes to shake you?

You're f*cking fired.

- I'm...
- Yes, you're fired.

Go f*cking teach yoga, you f*cking p*ssy.

Angela: Sounds like you're having quite the day.

- Yeah, you want make some money?

- I love money.

- All right, well, I'm telling you this

before the press release is out...

Market Equities is going for a run.

- Well, that's not nice.

Where's your preferred?

- I go after the common.

- I don't take nibbles, Beth. I take bites.

- Well this is at 220, Honey.

- Let me make a few calls and see who's hungry.

Just think, in a week we could be partners.

[ music ]

- Look at Market Watch.

[ laughs ]

- The balls on this woman.
What's our number?

- Down seven to sixty-four.

- After I get this bitch fired, we should hire her.

- Attorney General Dutton of Montana.

- How can I help you?

I can do that.
Do you have an email?

I can have it drafted and sent within an hour.

Thank you.

- After we get to 150, dump it.
Every f*cking share.

- He priced right?

- Yeah, right enough.

- Well, you sure you won't take him down the road?

- It's been a while since we've done it.

Rest of the world is forgetting we're here.

Time to remind them.

Thought I told you to run that sorrel over to Steiner's.

- No, no, no, I did.
They didn't like him.

He didn't buck hard enough for them.

- Didn't buck hard enough?
- No.

[ laughs ]
He bucked hard enough for me.

- Well, what do you want to do?

You want to put him through a sale?

- No. He'll end up in a slaughterhouse.

Can't have him k*lled

just because he doesn't want to be ridden.

Hell, I don't want to be ridden either.

- All right, well, I'll figure it out.

- That's it?

- Hm?

- Anything else you feel like discussing?

- [ sighs ]

- If you're joining the family can you please be the one person

in it who f*ckin' talks to me?

- I love her, sir.

I'll always take care of her.

- That's why I said yes.

- You know why, uh,

people don't come and talk to you?

'Cause they're scared they're going to let you down.

I know I am.

- Well, if you're marrying Beth,

you've already proved you're not scared of anything.

- [ chuckles ]
Yeah. Yeah.

- That horse needs a home.

It just ain't mine.

Go find him one.
- Yes, sir.

[ music ]

- He doesn't mind that?

- Hell, no.
He loves it.

It's like f*cking candy to him.

It helps their guts...

Keeps 'em from getting ulcers and from colicking.

The last one.

- Jimmy, go hook up the trailer

and load up that sorrel, will you?

When you're done doing what you're doing,

come out to the truck, Lloyd.

- What for?

- I want some company.

[ music ]

- What're you doing?

- There's a spot up here you can get great cell service.

Figured you might want to call home.

Let them know you broke down.

- I'd rather call from town.

- Oh, no, no, it's just right up here.

- Walk right up there, we get great service.

- All right, you go ahead and I'll stay here.

[ beeping ]

- Come on.

Come on.

[ music ]

[ panting ]

- Ah! Ah!

[ struggles ]

[ struggles ]

- Don't!
[ man groans ]

Ah!

- I'll never understand.

Just let it happen!

[ g*nsh*t ]

[ gasping, coughing ]

[ music ]

- Monica.
- I'm fine.
- Monica.

- I'm fine!

[ panting ]

- Slow everything down.

The EMS is at the tactical center.

I'm having them come up.

[ panting ]

- You're a brave woman.

- Thank you for not missing.

- I wouldn't do that to you.

- I'm sorry.
I didn't realize.

Oh, sh*t.

[ sobbing ]

[ blows whistle ]

- They found remains.

- People talk about making a difference.

But they don't.

Because they don't try.

They don't risk.

You risked.
Everything.

And today you made a difference.

[ whistle blows ]

[ whistle blows ]

[ music ]

Newscaster: As rumors of an attempted takeover

of the investment firm Schwartz and Meyer sent Wall Street

into a frenzy, running that stock up 110% to 158 per share.

[ phone ringing ]

Market Equities Group CEO, Willa Hayes, dismissed the rumor

and the stock plummeted down to 26 percent below its open...

- Well, you win some, you lose some.

- This is Bob Schwartz's assistant.

Mr. Schwartz is flying up to Bozeman and would like

to meet with you tomorrow afternoon

at the Yellowstone Club. 3 p.m.

Can you confirm that time is acceptable?

- f*ckin' A, lady.

Whatcha got there?

Wait, let me rephrase that--

What did Jamie give you?

[ music ]

- Thought you said you wanted some company.

- Mm-hmm.

- What for?

We been driving for six hours

and you ain't said a f*ckin' word.

- Lloyd, I'm trying to choose my words.

- sh*t, shoulda been able to write the f*cking song by now.

You old softy.

Been kicking the sh*t out of this Bloomer

ever since we left the ranch.

- He deserves to have his last trailer ride in style, Lloyd.

Easy, boy.

Didn't seem to like living with us, did you?

And I gotta say: the feeling is mutual.

Hope you like it better here,

'cause you ain't welcome back.

I'm getting married.

- Yeah, I've been wondering what's up with you lately.

- I need a best man.

- Kayce's her brother.

Fixin' to be yours.
- Hmm.

- You should ask him.

- Probably so.
But I ain't.

I'm asking you.

[ music ]

[ police radio chatter ]

- They have your car ready.

- They know how to replace the hose, right?

I don't want to go through this again.

- You'll have an escort to the ranch.

- Don't need one an escort to the ranch, just, um...

Um...

- Would you like me to call Kayce?

- Didn't tell him I was doing this.

And based on how today worked out, I'm not sure how.

- How did he tell you?

- Tell me what?

[ scoffs ]

It's no wonder we're married, huh?

We think exactly alike.

- You ever wonder why there's leezards in the mountains

but nee snikes?

- Uh... No.

But I do wonder what the f*ck you just said.

But I always wonder that, so...

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold the f*cking gator.

- What?

[ water running ]

- You wanna go skinny dipping?

- Skinny dipping?

- You ain't wondering what I said now, are ya?

- No, we got a whole fence to fix.

- Fence ain't goin nowhere.

Come on, baby.
Let's get naked.

- This is a test.

Yeah, just a test.
Yeah, okay.

Think with your big head.

The big head.

f*ck it.

[ music ]

- Hell you looking at, fuckheads?

This ain't no free titty show.

- What about the mouth on this one?

- You scrub her behind her ears she might be worth a twirl.

- You're on the wrong side of the fence.

- Looks like the whole world is on the wrong side

of the fence for you today.

- You need to move on now.

- Why don't you just go ahead and get the f*ck off our ranch?

- Oh, it's your ranch now.
Is it?

- I want you to give John Dutton a message for me.

- Oh, yeah? What's that?

[ horse neighs ]

- Yah!

[ shouting ]

- Go!

- Close the door, please.

- Rough day?

- How was your day?

- Mine are all the same, baby.

- Are they?
All the same?

What goes through your mind when you're lying to me?

You're protecting me?
From what?

After all I've seen you do.

But I can't be angry because that's why I lie to you.

- What did you lie about?
- What did you lie about?

- I didn't want to tell you because

it's always the same story with me.

I'm always in a position where I need

to k*ll or be k*lled.

Hell, it's my job now.

I don't want to say anything because...

I don't want you to think I'm a bad man.

Even if I think it.

I don't want you to think it because if you think it,

then it's true.

- It's been your job since I've met you, Kayce.

And I believe in my heart that every man you k*lled

has made the world a safer place.

That's how I feel about the man I k*lled.

[ music ]

I-I k*lled a man today.

[ sobbing ]

- That's not the glow of a blushing bride.

- Oh, Dad...

the blush was f*cked out of me years ago.

- Jesus.

Baby, I love our man-to-man talks, but...

We need to set some g*dd*mn boundaries here.

I can't unhear that, honey.

- It was a metaphor, sort of...

Look, I gotta show you something.

But before I do, I want you to know this about me--

I know you already know it, but I got to say it again.

Everything I do is for you.

To please you.

To protect you.

And I can tell you what I think is best,

with data and facts and zero emotion,

but I will do whatever it is you tell me to do.

- Okay.

- And you believe this offer is legitimate?

- They will wire ten percent earnest money

tomorrow with a seven day close.

- Now you're going to tell me all the reasons I should do it.

- I don't believe in should.

All I'll tell you is the consequences of not doing it.

And all I ask is that you listen.

- I'll listen, honey.

- If you don't accept,

they will press the state to condemn the land.

They will file a motion to recuse Jamie

from representing the State

because of his financial interests in the ranch.

They will bring in outside counsel and Jamie,

and oh how much I hate him,

he is the litigator for the state,

and he will no longer be available to us,

unless he resigns.

And even I can see the value in having him in office

at this particular moment.

They will condemn this land

and they will pay you fifteen cents on the dollar.

If that.

And what remains of the ranch will be taken from you

in a similar fashion, which doesn't really f*cking matter

because the property taxes will most likely

erode your savings within the next three to four years.

Now I can cover them for a couple more,

but in the end you're just selling off land

to pay the taxes while making nothing.

So the cycle will continue until the ranch

is whittled down to its least valuable parts.

Then you'll die,

and there will be no way for Kayce and certainly not Tate

to make a living from it...

and just like that, seven generations

of our family legacy will be carved into little ranchettes,

where people will spend the summer

wondering what this place looked like

before they got there when it was ours.

- I don't doubt a word you're saying, honey. Not one.

But I...

I can't sell it.

- You wouldn't be selling the ranch, Dad, just the land--

- Not an inch. Not one.

It's the last thing he asked me.

There's gotta be another way.
- There isn't.

- Nah, there's always another way.

- Please don't let pride factor into this decision, Dad.

It's just too big.

- No pride, honey. It's just...

I made a promise.

And I'd rather lose it than break it.

And he'd rather...

He'd rather me lose it too.

I think I'm gonna turn in for the evening, honey.

- Okay.

[ music ]

- Could we get a couple Yellow Jackets, please.

- Thank you.

- To your life with her.
- Cheers.

- You're smiling.

- Shut up, will ya?

- Well, you know, you did something that no one does, Rip.
